According to a report by a Nigerian lawyer living in Benin
Republic who sent out the story to the media, in the early hours of yesterday
morning, Wednesday July 31st, the police department of the Republic of Benin
carried out a house to house search of Nigerians living in Cotonou, who don't
have their passports and ID cards. The Nigerians they found wanting were
bundled up and quarantined in a local primary school (pictured above). More
Pics after cut...
A few other nationalities like Ghanaians and Nigers were
also picked up but majority were Nigerians. The Benin police say they plan to
continue their raid because some foreigners were constituting a nuisance in the
area.
The lawyer had to bail her relatives from the camp with
20,000cfa which is about N6000 even though they didn't commit any crime other
than being unable to identify themselves. Maybe it's time to come home!
